Certification/Tire Label
Label Example
A vehicle specific Certification/Tire label is attached to
the bottom section of the center pillar, on the driver's
side of the vehicle. Vehicles without a center pillar,
extended cab models, will have the Certification/Tire
label attached to the edge of the driver's side, extended
cab door, below the door latch post. The label shows
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants,
fuel, cargo and trailer tongue weight, if pulling a trailer.
The Certification/Tire label also tells you the maximum
weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual loads on
your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you
with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the centerline.
